Chapter 271: Etinel Prime
Jeong Nayeon shrugged, randomly spouting some nonsense that had suddenly come to mind—as if she couldn't help herself, given how famous the meme was.
The interesting thing was that quite a few viewers sided with her. Watching personal broadcasts naturally makes one familiar with the memes, after all.
Cha Seongcheol had also made a face suggesting he half understood, hadn't he? Only Chloe, who was relatively in the dark about that sort of thing, tilted her head, not knowing what it meant.
"Ahem. Anyway! It looks like he's planning to wrap up the research facility completely with this mission. After that, it'll probably be off to the corrupt Corporate Alliance."

"Yes. That's right. Still, it seems like the ending will turn out similar to other users' stories."
- Research facility (complete)

- Corporate Alliance lmaooo
- That's why money-crazed bastards never change
- Yeah~ but the Management Bureau with the number one brain-dead escapees has plenty of corrupt ones too~
Chloe was certainly right.

Baek Woohyun's story, which had been wildly different from the very start, had gone through a middle process no one could have predicted—yet it was ultimately heading toward a similar conclusion.
The feeling was all the stronger given that he had put an end to the research facility, the most clear-cut villain, and was now preparing to clash with the corruption on the Corporate Alliance side as well.
"The unresolved foreshadowing...... will probably come out in Season 2."
Separate from the story itself nearing its end, the current state of Baek Woohyun's story was overflowing with loose threads still unresolved.

The Otherworld whose passage had finally opened, the Otherworld Lord who had even appeared in a raid, the Doppelganger Otherworld God—weren't they all signs that something was brewing on the Otherworld front?
That when Season 1 on Earth ended, Season 2 in the Otherworld would follow—this was the prediction that everyone researching the 'Reverse Planet' story agreed upon.
Еńum̊ а
Story seasons were a format many virtual reality RPGs had adopted, and the idea that 'Reverse Planet' would do the same was not strange at all.
Up until the Otherworld Lord raid appeared, people had been waiting only for the start of Season 2. It was practically more delayed than expected now.
Had it not been for Isaac returning alongside Baek Woohyun, their wish would probably have been fulfilled much, much later.
- Hell yeah, Season 2!
- Been waiting for nothing but the Season 2 Otherworld arc lately
- Srsly something big coming? Holding my breath until it does

- Ready to jump straight onto the Otherworld side the moment it starts. Kill all those bastards!
"Oh, even if Season 2 starts, I want to stick right to the Nuclear Tourism content and follow Mr. Cheater's story."
"Hmm. May I ask why?"
"Because I'm certain that, just like Season 1, the one who digs deepest into the Season 2 story will be Mr. Cheater!"
Season 2, following Season 1.
There too, those who wished to know the story would never be able to escape Baek Woohyun.

Chloe declared it like a prophecy, and everyone agreed. With good reason—there had still been no one who had pushed the story this far with zero assist like him.
The most anyone had heard was a rumor that one person had somehow pushed to the midpoint.

"Here."
"......."
Baek Woohyun and Kim Youngjun, having left the park, headed straight for the location of the Last Stronghold research facility. It wasn't far, so they arrived in an instant.
Ё n̂ u mа.і́ d
True to its nature as a place the research facility people had taken special care to prepare, the Last Stronghold research facility was completely invisible from the outside.
It was concealment of a genuinely different caliber from the other facilities, which at least could be confirmed if you already knew they existed and looked for them. Even knowing for certain this was the place, it was difficult to find.
Of course, that was only by the standards of ordinary people's abilities. It didn't apply to Baek Woohyun, who was enormously far removed from ordinary.
He had the ability to detect everything within a radius of dozens of meters just by willing it—and if he concentrated further, hundreds of meters.

The fact that it was well hidden from sight posed no obstacle whatsoever. Locating the entrance after pinpointing the location was over in an instant.
"They hid it with considerable effort."
Е̇ ǹu_m̊а̌.іd̆.
"Well. Doesn't matter."
Crunch.
Kim Youngjun possessed much the same level of ability, so the two succeeded in entering the interior of the Last Stronghold research facility without any delay at all.
In truth, it nearly did take a little longer. The entrance of the Last Stronghold research facility was as thoroughly sealed as its superb camouflage.
It had only gone faster because Baek Woohyun had shoved past Kim Youngjun—who, befitting the finest member of the infiltration team that had once worked alongside 'Superhuman' on the 'other side,' was attempting to pick the lock—and simply forced it open.
"You remember the plan? I'll provide support from the back."

"I'll smash through the front."
"Great, brother! Go wild!"
Leaving Kim Youngjun as he slipped away, Baek Woohyun strode boldly forward.
He had no intention whatsoever of concealing the power of the supernatural ability boiling up through his entire body in response to his will. He simply let it loose naturally as he walked.
The more grandly he ran riot up front, the easier it would be for Kim Youngjun to work his craft behind the scenes—and that would ultimately help him as well.
On top of that, personal vengeance urged him on too. To shatter everything, without a single exception.

"......."
Roaaaaar——!

The transparent flame that overflowed from the monster wearing the mask of a human bloomed at last into a single flower.
Flower of Annihilation. The flower that brings annihilation. The symbol of the one that the research facility on the 'other side' had feared to the point of abandoning even the thought of opposing him.
The flower, blooming more brilliantly and beautifully now that a complete supernatural ability build was right around the corner, was in and of itself the very symbol of overwhelming devastation.
Crackle!
Е̇n u̇ m ā
Every being within Baek Woohyun's sight began to crumble before a telekinetic force that could not be resisted.
Space itself seemed to tremble, then twisted with a dreadful sound before being compressed. It was a spectacle like the world itself being forcibly crumpled and gathered to a single point.
Watching from a somewhat distant location, it was as though reality were surging like waves. The way things shattered and scattered at the end resembled the fate of a wave as well.
Even more terrifying was the fact that the destruction generated by the telekinesis advanced steadily forward as he moved.

The sight of him, his body lifted naturally by the intense output as he erased everything before him and pressed forward, was nothing less than the end of days in human form.
Naturally, it was entirely to be expected that the Last Stronghold research facility reacted in a panic.
W̊ ĕb́ ṅ о̌ v̇ѐl E n ů m̊ а
[Emergency alert issued! Emergency alert——]
Crack!
"......."
The emergency lights blinking madly in red and the speaker blaring loudly met silence in the face of the annihilation Baek Woohyun was bringing about.
Of course, just because those had been smashed didn't mean the forces guarding the Last Stronghold research facility wouldn't mobilize. The intruder's presence was already known.
Sure enough, from the corridor on the opposite side, well-armed security guards swarmed out to eliminate the intruder known as Baek Woohyun.

But they were, at best, ordinary people with guns. Not so much as a single hunting dog, let alone the Hunting Dog Fusion Monster.
Remarkably, not a single Etinel was visible here either—the units that in other facilities had been mixed in at roughly one per every five people.
It was a combat strength so inferior it made even the term "Last Stronghold" ring hollow.
Swoosh.
Crackle!
"Urgh!" "Guh!"
Ӗ n̄ ú m̌а̌
"A m-monster! Run!"
Having crushed over a dozen security guards to death with a single gesture, Baek Woohyun narrowed his eyes, considered why, and realized quickly.

The research facility's leadership, key personnel included, were all currently attempting to flee to the Otherworld using Abrasax-Deus to escape the Otherworld Management Bureau.
With the most important figures making their exit, there was no reason to station powerful combat strength here as a precaution. If they had that kind of strength, they would have used it to protect themselves instead.
Accordingly, it was a natural outcome that the forces defending the Last Stronghold research facility had grown weak.
'Idiots to the very end.'
Е̊ ñ.ú m̄а .і́ ď
The very ones who had attempted to flee to the Otherworld had been left behind as sacrifices for Baek Woohyun by the master of that place, only to meet their forced deaths shortly after.
Remembering their wretched end—a brutal execution carried out without a moment's hesitation—he wore a cold sneer.
Even if the revenge had not been carried out by his own hands, the fact that they had experienced a death so utterly futile yet horrific was undeniably satisfying.
'Well, either way.'

Crackle!
"Aaaargh!" "My arm! My arm!"

With only this place left to eliminate—a situation already 95 percent complete in wiping out the research facility—there was no reason to be disappointed that the opposition was weak.
If anything, he had every right to be pleased that the final stretch would proceed more smoothly. And so Baek Woohyun advanced all the more boldly and without restraint.
The security guards who had swarmed out at first, apparently having realized he was an opponent they could not possibly stop, were now too busy running away.
Still, it seemed their will to resist hadn't been completely broken—some were firing their weapons. The successive gunshots announced that someone was pulling the trigger.
Dozens, hundreds of rounds swept over Baek Woohyun all at once, but containing not a shred of supernatural ability power, they couldn't even penetrate the transparent flower.
If he were the kind of being a few dozen humans gathered together could lay their hands on, there was no way the research facility on the 'other side' would have abandoned all thought of opposing him.

"Damn it! Forget stabilization or whatever! Just deploy the Etinel already!"
"...Hm?"
A voice shouted out from one of the security guards scrambling to flee, causing Baek Woohyun to narrow his eyes.
It was because the shout implied that, even having witnessed his power for what it was—annihilation itself—the man still believed deploying an Etinel would provide a solution.
Any security guard should have grasped that a run-of-the-mill Etinel would be crushed the moment it stood before him, no different from themselves.
'The fact that he didn't means there's something to this.'
Wēb̄n̂о̂ v̀ė l̇ Ӗn u m а̀
There were two hints.
Stabilization. And Etinel.

Baek Woohyun, who had experienced the 'other side,' knew very well what resulted when those two things came together.
Because the most powerful Etinel he had ever faced on the 'other side'—one he would not hesitate to call the final-version Etinel—was still vivid in his mind: a killing machine.
The worst monster that 'Project: Transcendence' had ever produced, simultaneously its greatest success and its greatest failure—the last weapon the research facility had drawn to counter 'Superhuman.'
'Etinel Prime!'
E̊n̂ü m̊ а̊
Keeeeeeng!
"It's here!"
"Damn it! Disgustingly slow!"
The Etinel that had finally revealed itself from beyond the corridor possessed a fearsome majesty befitting the name Prime.

Unlike the existing Etinels—which were nothing more than mannequins in human form wrapped in a white shell—this one was perfectly human in appearance.
Its pure-white shell remained either the same material as before or better, so even though it was modeled after a human figure, it was closer to a plaster statue carved from marble than to a living creature.
Е̂ n um̂ ā. іd̂
The security guards, spotting Etinel Prime—an entity that was far too human-looking for a machine—brightened and rushed toward it.
There was only that one corridor, so they had no choice but to go that way, and besides, they believed Etinel Prime would protect them from the intruder.
Because every previous version of the Etinels had been perfectly under their control.
"Huh?"
Crack!
That is, until burning crimson eyes turned to look at the security guards, and the hand that swung immediately after crushed the head of the one standing furthest in front.
